Firefighters Find Baby in Burning House After Mother Denies Anyone s Inside Except 20 Dogs
On 4/19/21 at 12:59 PM EDT
Authorities are investigating a Detroit house fire after four adults, who managed to get to safety, reportedly failed to inform firefighters there was an 18-month-old baby inside.
Detroit firefighter LaVaughn Williams told WDIV he found the baby in a smoke-filled room after he noticed movement in the crib. At the time, firefighters were unaware there were any other people in the house because the baby s adoptive mother reportedly said everyone was out except for the dogs. I felt like a father at that moment, Williams, who has a 3-year-old, told WDIV. I just grabbed the baby and ran as quickly as I could to get her away from the smoke. She was struggling to breathe.

A man was found fatally shot in the driveway of a home in the 5500 block of Audubon, according to a Detroit police news release.
The homeowner called 911 after hearing gunshots around 12:20 p.m. Sunday, said Detroit Police Officer Holly Lance. The victim s identity remains unknown.
Detroit firefighters surprised to find baby while searching house in fire
When Detroit firefighters reached a burning home early one morning last week on the city s east side, they found several adults standing outside asking them to save the dogs inside.
None mentioned an 18-month-old girl that fire crews found and rescued inside, said Detroit Deputy Fire Commissioner Dave Fornell.
The firefighters were totally dumbfounded, he said. It is extremely unusual that when we pulled up the family never mentioned there was a child in the building.
The baby now is safe, but the incident has triggered a Detroit police investigation, Officer Holly Lance, a spokeswoman for the city Police Department, said Friday.
